0.-!'.TEY MARKET AND COMfdEILCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for monetary accommodation still eontmues very active, and 6 per cent. is in most instances the general quotation in the open market for first cl ass s h ort dated securities. The i ncreased Inquiry now experienced is considered to be only of a temporary nature, and when provision has been Made for the settlement at the Stock Exchange, and all payments have been completed in connection with the revenue account, it was thought that the market would assume an easier appearance. A sadden and unfavourable change has, however, taken place in the Paris exchanges, and as the alteration will admit of gold being sent to France from this c ountry , t h e expectat i on o f a re d uct i on in the official quotation is now remote. About £60,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation to the continent. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed April 4 a special settling day in the shares of the Gellivara Company and the British and Californian Banking Company, both of which are to be officially marked. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 65f. 80c.; Reav y.

At the first ordinary meeting to-day of the Lon don and South American Bank—Mr. W. C. Noses in the chair—the report, recommending an amal 211:nation with the Mexican Bank, was adopted. dividend of 6s. per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, was also agreed to. Very little movement has occurred to-day in the Market for English Funds, which have continued inactive. Consols are 911 I; for transfer, and 911 for the account. Speculation is exceedingly limited, and there is scarcely any demand for stock on behalf of the investing public. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are quoted 891 ; Exchequer Bills, Bs. to 3s. dis. ; India 5 per Cents., 104 I ; and the Debentures, 99 9 In the Foreign Market there is not much anima nation, and prices are tolerably steady.

In the Railway Share Market to• day there has been very little animation, the dealers and specula 'ore being occupied with the adjustment of the accounts. Prices, however, generally exhibit more firmness. South Western, North Eastern (Ben- V jel l), Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and Great Eastern have improved about ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been Nvithout change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous shares have continued in fair req ues t.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE — This Days BOW-STREET. INFRINGING THE REFRESHMENT HOUSE ACT.—John James Weedy appeared to answer a summons taken out against him at the instance of the Excise for keeping an unlicensed refreshment house. Mr. Dwelley, the solicitor to the Excise Office, said the defendant kept a refreshment house, No. 249, Pentonville road, and he should prove that on the 29th of February, he supplied certain refreshments after the hour laid down in the act for the closing of unlicensed refreshment houses. John Chapel, an officer in th• Excise, said on Feb. 29 he was passing the chop-house kept by the defendant in Pentonville-road, and seeing some mutton chops in the window he went and asked to be served with one, and also some tea and bread and butter. It was at about half past 10 at night, and as the house was unlicensed it ought to have closed at nine o'clock. Defendant—When you came in did I not tell you the fire was out ? Witness—Yes, but you afterwards said there was enough remaining, and the chop was cooked and served. You had previously brought me the tea, bread, and butter. Defendant—l took the licence out three days after, viz., on the 2d of March, and at the time I served the officer I did not know I was doing wrong. _ _ _ Mr. Dwelley said he believed the defendant had been cautioned previous to information being taken out about his mode of carrying on his business. The defendant—l don't deny that I served the officer, but at * the time I told him the fire was going out, and I was just closing. Mr. Vaughan—That is, in fact, pleading guilty. All I have to do is to administer the law. The act sets down the fine for keeping an unlicensed refreshment house at £2O, but power is given to the magistrate to mitigate the amount, and I therefore fine you £5 for the infringement of the act, which you have done. You can memorialise the Excise Commissioners fur a reduction of the penalty, but I have no power to inflict a lower fine than I have done. MARLBOROUGH- STREET, A PROSECUTOR AND HIS WITNESS REFUSED THEIR EXPENSES.—Susan Leonard, a dirty miserable looking woman, was charged befor Mr Arnold with stealing a can of milk, the value of the can and milk being 16s, It appears that Mr W. Griffin, dairyman, of 11, Little Windmill-street, is in the habit of leaving a can of milk every evening at the door of Mr Birch, milkman, 2, South row, and about a quarter to 7 this mornings female saw the prisoner take up the can and milk and walk off with it. She then gave information to Mr Birch, and he went after the prisoner and gave her into custody, the prisoner refus ing to give up the can ani milk, stating they were her own property, and that she was gong to serve her customers. In answer to Mr Arnold, Mr Griffin and Mr Birch said that the can of milk was left at the door of Mr Birch every morning between 6 and 7, the house bell being rung to let Mr Birch know that it was there, but no one being in charge of it, and it appeared that this morning it was left for three-quarters of an hour unprotected. Aldridge, 205 V, said the prisoner was quite sober at the time. The prisoner had nothing to say in answer to the charge. Mr Arnold committed her for trial, and said that the female who had given Mr Birch information should have her expenses, but neither Mr. Birch nor Mr. Griffin. They had acted very foolishly, and in a most incautious manner. Mr Griffin asked the magistrate whether he could not deal with the case. Mr Arnold said he could not, It was to give the prose cutor and his witness the inconvenience—for leaving their property in such an exposed manner, and placing tempta tion in the way of persons—that he sent the case to the sessions. The prisoner was then committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. A SURGEON CHARGED WITH THREATENING HIS WIFE. —Mr. Joseph Lancashear, a surgeon, of No, 1, Park-road, West Brorapton, was charged with using threatening lan guage'to his wife. Mrs. Lancashear said that on the 28th inst. her husband came home drunk and commenced a volley of abuse at her and everybody he met. He called them beastly names, and after putting them all in jeopardy fell on a chair and went to sleep. He awoke very excited, and crossing the room thrust his fist in her face. She called for assistance and he desisted, but afterwards came up to her and aimed a violent blow at the back of her neck, which was fortunately warded off by her daughter. Witness and all the inmates of the house went in fear of their lives. He took up a poker and said he would do for them. His conduct was often similar to that on the present occasion, and he had more than once threatened to poison all the people in the house. Mrs. Nancy Brewer having corroborated this statement, Louisa Lancashear, an intelligent girl, said her father came home drunk and went to sleep on a chair. He woke up and abused her mother, and would have struck her on the head had not she prevented him. He said he would do for her. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after animadverting on the defendant's conduct, said he was sorry to see a man in his position in life placed at the bar of a police court charged with such an offence. The case, however, did not appear to him of a vindictive nature, and he should order defendant to find one bail in MO for his good behaviour to his wife for six months. THAMES. STEALING GOODS IN TRANSIT.—Henry Dagwell and James West, lightermen, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with breaking open a case and stealing 6 pieces of calico therefrom. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, prosecuted on behalf of the steam-tug and lighterage company, who he said were exten sive carriers, and had been losers to a large amount by the dishonesty of servants, who were well paid, and had no the flimsy excuse for dishonesty of insufficient wages. The prisoner West was in the employ of the company as a lighterman. Dugwell was formerly in the service of the company in the same capacity. West had been recently in charge of one of the company's barges, called the Spring, which was laden with hardware, Manchester goods and other property intended for shipment. That charge was in the East India Export Dock yesterday. About half past 5 o'clock in the evening the prisoner Dagwell was about to pass out of the dock when a constable named Edward Knight observing he was rather bulky stopped him, and asked him what he had about him and what ship he had just left. The pri soner said " Why do you want to know ?" Tne constable touched the prisoner in the ribs, and said " What have you here ?" The prisoner answered, "That is my business," Knight took the prisoner into custody, and, upon searching him, found two new pieces of calico, measuring 40 yards each round his body. The value of the calico was £3. The prisoner was asked where be lived, to which he replied that he had no fixed place of residence. He was taken to the station house, and there gave his address, No. 3, Wright's-court, Cotton-street, Poplar. Knight and another officer named Charles Douglas went to the place named, and while search ing it, West came there, inquired for Dagwell, and was taken into custody. West admitted that he was the lighterman of the barge Spring, in the East India ex port dock. The prisoner had no right to leave the barge while there were goods on board, and ought to have been there at the time he went to Dagwell's home. Tho cargo of the barge Spring was afterwards examined, and a case of Manchester goods was found to have been broken open, and several pieces of calico, each measuring 40 yards, were missing. On searching the cabin of the barge three pieces of the stolen calico were found under West's sleeping berth. Those were the principal incidents of this case ; and atter he had called his witnesses he should ask for a remand, to enable him to send to Manchester for witnesses to identify the goods. Witnesses were then called in verification of Mr. Charles Young's statement. Mr. John Francis Smith, manager of the Thames Steam Tug and Lighterage Company, said the calico of the barge Spring was exclusively under the control of the prisoner West. Mr. Gomm, for the prisoners, cross-examined the wit nesses, and said he should reserve the defence. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoners for a week, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to day the arrivals of English wheat were small, but the general quality of the produce was good. Both for red and white qualities the demand ruled inactive at the rates current on Monday. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was by no means extensive. Most descriptions were in limited request; Nevertheless previous quotations were supported. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates. Good and fine malting barley ruled firm at fully late rates. Other descriptions met, however, a slow sale, yet no change took place in their value. The malt trade was dull, and prices had a drooping tendency. . . . The supply of oats on sale was somewhat extensive. A moderate business was transacted in most descriptions at Monday's quotations. Beans sold steadily, and prices ruled firm. The supply on offer was but moderate. Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. The flour trade was by no means active, yet prices ruled stationary. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flom.

LITERATURE. Nimmo'B Shakspere. The first of a series of seven " shilling parts," (each part, judging from this one, of more than 250 pages, seven parts, which are intended to comprise within them the whole of the works of William Shakspere)—has here made its appearance. The initial instalment of the work now before us contains (for a shilling) The Tempest, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Measure for Measure, The Comedy of Errors, Much Ado about Nothing, and Love's L..bour Lost—all of these complete, and together with these the opening scenes in Midsummer Night's Dream. The edition (not withiltanding its many rivals just now) is so good and so cheap that it is tolerably certain, we should think, of a large, and therefore remunerative, circulation. Ilinchmoor. By Dr. John Brown. Ecimonstone and Douglas. Another of those relishing little essays by which Dr. John Brown has built up for himself within the last few years so delightful a reputation. Minch moor, however, is hardly " up" to the last of its predecessors , It is certainly not to be mentioned in the same breath with " Rab and his Friends" — the best of the whole bunch. Post-office London Directory for the Counties of Northampton, Huntingdon, Bedford, Bucking ham, Berks, and Oxford. Kelly and Co., Old Boswell-court. The third edition of the u Post-office Directory for the six counties above enumerated, produced under the editorship of E. R. Kelly, M.A., is much in advance of its predecessors, and, as far as we have been is a marvel of correctness. Several have been made to the t o test it, information usually contained in directories, while in the volume under notice lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been' included in the topo graphy of each county, and it is stated under each parish in what Hundred, Union, and County Court District it is situated. The Post-office Savings Banks have been noticed, the names of the parish clerks are given under each parish, lists of farm bailiffs of gentlemen farming their own land, have been added, and the new lines of railway have been laid down in the county maps attached to each division of the book, corrected down to the present date. In order to guard against any inaccuracy, proof sheets of the work have been submitted to all the prominent persons in the respective places men tioned, and thus, while we have a volume that adds much to the reputation of the Messrs. Kelly, we have one that can be implicitly relied upon. The Universal Newspaper and Periodical List. This very useful little volume has just been published by Mr. Watson, of Brydges-street. It contains a list of all the newspapers, with their politics, prices, etc., published throughout the king dom, also a similar catalogue of all the weekly, monthly, quarterly, magazines and periodicals, together with a list of all the foreign and colonial newspapers. To those requiring information of the above description the book wili be found exceedingly useful. Consumption Arrested by the Turkish Bath. Hardsvicke, Piccadilly. This is a reprint of the report of Dr. Leared, first published in the Lancet, preceded by directions and observations for the construction of Turkish Baths for medical purposes by David Urquhart, Esq. No one, it will be admitted on all hands, has stood up so valiantly or more successfully in defence of the Turkish Bath, both as a curative and a luxury, than Mr. Urquhart, and the pleasure of seeing the blind prejudices which formally existed against it melting away, must be heightened by the fact that heat, administered as he directed, has been found remarkably successful in conquering one of the direst foes to the human frame, viz , consumption. The little volume now before us gives plain direr. tions for the economical construction of hot air baths similar to those which at present exist in Jermyn-street, but of course not in so costly a style. Speaking of consumption, Mr. Urquhart remarks in his introduction— Consumption is a modern disease. It was no more known formerly in Eng land than it is known to-day in countries whose habits resemble those of England formerly, even when there is no bath. There can be, therefore, no greater error than to suppose thatthat a th h e ah lu g n a g o s f c a l r i e m w ate as i t a ed a by q, ue A nt ft ly, er the disease has made progress, relief may be so afforded. It is a chance, an incident, and no wore. Such relief is, however, within the reach of a fraction only of the sufferers. I hose who are so favoured by fortune as to be able to change their abodes, are at the prevent moment only flying from effective means of restoration which are now to be found at home. The report of Dr. Leared contains many very start ling instances in which the bath has been pecu liarly successful in arresting the ravages of con sumption, and the eminent physician concludes his paper with the following remarks : In a disease which condemns so many to prolonged suf fering and death, and in which we have been powerless to save, a treatment cannot fail to be welcome which as an agent of cure promises so well, and which has been at least proved greatly to alleviate suffering. If it, unfortu nately, fell to my lot to be affected by phthisis, I should give the hot-air bath the fullest trial. HEALTH or Tim METROPOLIS. (From the .Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths r egistered in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,397 . The average num ber for the twelfth week of ten previous years, 1854-63, is, with a corr, eti on for increase of popu lation, 1,445; and the actual return is less than the which exhibits an in calculated number by 52 . Smallpox is recorded as 37 ; diphtheria in 6 ; w hooping-cough in 65 ; foarteaalsei,ninll44ca; e s e c s acl m at e i a n s a les in , vc . and typhus in 47. Six fatal cases of scarlatina occurred in the Kensington Town sub district; 6 from measles, and 6 from whooping-cough in Islington. The num ber of deaths referred to phthisis is 158 ; to bronchitis 202 ; which is nearly the same as the num ber of the p rev i ous wee k. More than half of the d eaths fr om phthisis occurred in the period of life 20-40 y ea rs, while nearly half of those from bronchitis occurred in the period 60-- 180 years. Fifty out of 88 deaths from pneumonia happened to inmates under 2 years of age. On the 22d l inst. the wife of a cabman ) aged 51 years, was found dead in Lower-street, Islington, from " syn. , cope produced by excitement and want of food.' On the 20th inst., an oilman, aged 79 years, died in the workhouse, Whiteohapel , from " effusion into the ventricles of the brain, accelerated by expo sure and cold." On the 21st instant, at 32, Angel-gardens, Shadwell, a dock labourer, aged 42 years, was found dead from " inflammation of the lungs, accelerated by exposure and want of necessaries," Two infants and two adults died by murder or manslaughter ; three per sons by intemperance. Seven nonagenarians died, the two oldest of whom were respectively 96 and 97 years of age. Last week the births of 974 boys and 923 girls— in all 1,897 children —were registered in Louden. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854- 63 the average number (corrected) was 2,063. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 569 in. The reading rose to 29 . 88 in. on Thursday, and tell to 29.39 in. on Saturday. The mean tempe rature of the air in the week was 40.4 deg., which is 1.7 deg. below the average of the same week in forty-three years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). After Sunday the mean daily temperature was below the average till the end of the week. The highest day temperature was 57 6 deg. on Sunday. The lowest night temperature was 26.9 deg. on Thursday. The range of tempera ture in the week was therefore 30 . 7 deg. The mean daily range was 17.5 deg. On three nights the thermometer fell below the freezing point of water. Ile difference between the mean dew point tempera ture and air temperature was 6.1 deg. The mean tegree of humidity of the air was 82, complete saturation being represented by 100. Oa the first four days the wind was in the north-east. There was no rain, except 0.04 in., which fell on Satur day. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 45.7 deg., and that of the lowest was 43.5. AMERICA. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) (Per the City of New York.) NEW YORK, March 19. Despatches from the army of the Potomac report all quiet at the front. It is rumoured that the rebel General, Stuart, with 5,000 cavalry crossed the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg, on the 17th, for the purpose of making a raid in the rear of Gen. Heade's army, or possibly to make a dash at Wash ing'on. No confirmation of this report has been received ; the opinion, however, prevails in military circles that Gen. Lee will soon make a formidable demonstration, either against Ger. Meade, in force, or against Washington by attempting to get in the rear of Gen. Meade's army. Gen. Grant having assumed commacd of all the'armies of the UilitEd States, has announced that his headquarters, for the present, will be with the Army of the Potomac. The Washington correspondent of the New York World states that it is generally understood that the first object of Gee. Grant, in the approaching campaign, is a blow against the rebel capital. It is positively asserted by most of the New York and Washington papers that Gen. Meade will soon be superseded in the command of the Army of the Potomac by Gen. W. F. Smith. A rumour is afloat that Ervill's entire corps is moving into the Shenandoah Valley, but the reports of Federal scouting parties announce no such movement. A despatch from Charlestown, West Virginia, reports that on the 16th inst. a rebel force 1,500 strong was within 15 miles of Gnyandotte, threatening Barbourville. A strong Union force was sent to oppose them. Chattanooga despatches of the 15th instant an nounce that the rebels were moving their artillery from Dalton towards Ringgold, and their cavalry had picketed Taylor's Gap. They havo a heavy force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and their present movements indicate that they will assume the offensive. A concentration of their forces for this purpose is believed to be in progress. An officer of the army at Chattanooga writes that the Federal army cannot remain in that posi tion when the hot weather begins, on account of the stench arising from an immense number of dead horses and males, which have died of starvation during the winter. The country around Chatta nooga, for miles, is strewed with decaying car= cases, estimated to number at least 50,000. Richmond papers assert that the recent advance of the Federal forces under General Palmer against Dalton, was made in supposition that the Confede rate army at that point had been greatly depleted to reinforce General Polk. The rebel cavalry force under Forrest, Lee, and Chalmers, after repulsing the expedition of Generals Smith and Grierson, are said to have concentrated, and moved rapidly to join the main army of General Polk. A mutiny is reported to have occurred among the garrison at Fort Morgan, Mobile. The mutineers proposed surrendering the fort to the Federal fleet, but their plot was discovered, and 30 of them were shot, after trial by court-martial. Admiral Farragut has withdrawn his fleet from before Mobile. The _Richmond Examiner of the 14th inst., states that firing was still kept up against Charleston, but no more casualties were reported. Unusual activity in the Federal fleet at Folly inlet, on the 13th. It is reported that General Gilmore's chief of Staff stated before the committee on the conduct of the war at Washington on the 17th, that the lower portion of Charleston has been nearly destroyed by the Federal fire, and that only the upper portion of the city was occupied by rebel troops. Southern accounts make no mention of such results. Another ironelad is said to have:been completed by the rebels at Charleston, and a naval attack on the Federal fleet was by no means thought im probable. The rebels are reported to be concentrating a heavy force under General Pickett in North Caro lina, either with a view of attacking Norfolk or Newburn, or to oppose any Federal force that might be sent from either of those points up the south side of the James River against Richmond. Guerilla bands are forming in several counties in Kentucky, for the purpose of obstructing the navi gation of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers ; and a number of arrests were made at Hickman of men who were organising themselves into companies to join the rebel army. Great excitement prevails, and it is feared that there exists a formidable conspiracy against the Federal Government. Despatches from the south-west announce that a desperate fight had taken place near Yazoo City, and it was reported that three Federal regiments had been captured, the 11th Illinois and two Louisiana negro regimets. This force, under com mand of Colonel Coates, was sent up the Yazoo River on steamboats, with instructions to menace the rebels in the neighbourhood of Yazoo City, in order to effect a diversion in favour of the Sherman expedition. Colonel Coates captured and occupied Yazoo City. The transports were then loaded with cotton and sent to Vicksburg, with instructions to return in ten days with a supply of provisions and forage. After the boats were fairly beyond recall, the rebels, in overwhelming numbers, bore down upon Colonel Coates, who, after a severe but brief fight, was forced to surrender his entire command, escape being impossible. This report lacks confir mation, bat is generally believed. Another report of the same affair states that during the fight some Federal gunboats camp up and drove the rebels off. Admiral Porter's fleet is said to have captured the town of Harrisonville, on Red River ; also a rebel fort on the Wachita. A portion of the marine brigade surprised a rebel camp near Port Gibson, and captured 47 prisoners. The rebels are said to be preparing to attack the contraband camp opposite Vicksburg. The negro troops at Waterproof are reported to have commit ted many outrages, and it was feared that any of them who fell into the hands of the rebels would be very severely dealt wish.

MM. T— and C, wine dealers, of Bordeaux, were tried on a charge of having fraudulently endeavoured to compel M. Foucqueteau to receive a quantity of wine under pretext that it had been ordered by his father. It appeared from the statement of counsel, that C— arrived at Chinon on Nov. 2 last, a few hours after the sudden death of M. Fouc- queteAu, president of the Tribunal of that town, and that he determined to take advantage of that cireum- stance to effect the sale of a quantity of wine, by pretending that M. Foucqueteau had ordered it just before his decease. He accordingly addressed the following letter to his partner at Bordeaux :—" I eand you my orders No. 72, 73, and 74 ; I have not yet finished at Chinon. Remember that, as to No. 72, it is a second edition of the order at Anglers." On the following day T— sent off a quantity of wine amount ing to 1,339 fr. and at the same time he wrote to Mr. Feucqueteau a letter containing the bill, and expressing his hope that the wine would give satisfaction. As the letter arrived when M. Foucqueteau, jun., was in great distress on account pf his father's death, no attention was paid to it, but when the wine arrived a week later, he refused to receive it, and after examining his father, and making inquiries among his friends, he became convinced that the order had never been given. Several letters passed between him and the defendants, but as they contained state ments which he knew to be false, he persisted in his refusal, and commenced proceedings against them. In court, C— admitted that no order had been given, and expressed his regret that he had yielded to a momentary impulse, though he could not see that he had done anything very wrong. The president, after expressing his astonishment at hearing such an opinion uttered by a person who wished to be thought a respectable man of business, asked the defendant what be meant by saying in his letter of the 2d November that the order No. 72 was a second edition of the order at Angers." The defendant C-- replied :—" Two years ago I met a commercial traveller who told me that when at Angers he happened to see a grand funeral pass along the street, and finding that the deceased was a man of great property whose fortune would all go to distant relations, he determined to send a good lot of wine to him under pre tence that he had been ordered. The wine was received by the heirs of the deceased, who paid for it and became excellent customers from that time. The recollection of this fact induced him to try the same trick on M. Foucqueteau." He declined giving the traveller's name The President remarked that it would be to the defendant's interest to give the name, as from the manner in whch he alluded to the order in the letter of Nov. 2, it would seem that the defendant himself had played the trick at Angers. The defendant denied this, but persisted in his refusal to name the traveller. The other defen dant declared that he at first considered the order genuine, but soon afterwards learned that it was not so The Public Prosecutor pressed for a conviction against both defendants, but admitted that T— was less to blame than the other. The Tribunal having declared the charge proved against both defendants, condemned C— to a fortnight's imprisonment with 200 fr. fine, T--- to a week's imprison ment with 100 fr. fine, and both conjointly to the costs. A petition signed by 13 Arabs residing at El.. Arrouch and neighbourhood (province of Constantine) has been addressed to the Senate, praying for the applicati,n of French justice in their country. The petition ers state that the Emperor Napoleon the Third, in his Speech on opening the Chambers, recognised them as his subjects, and that what they most desire from French civilisation is the inviolable and sacred guarantee which protects the respective rights of all French subjects. The French laws, they say, form a precise and regular Code, and every man knows his rights, and what reparation he can obtain for a violation of them. The peti tioners then point out that the Arab laws are founded on customs which at present differ in almost every tribe, so that the people live in continual uncertainty. A bill has been introduced by her Majesty's Government for the extension of the Factory Acts to certain trades not included in the previous acts, but in which children, young persons, and women are employed. The trades which it is now proposed to include within the provisions of the Factory Act are the following :-1. The manufacture of earthenware, except bricks and tiles, not being orna mental tiles. 2.

The following are the main provisions of the bill :—The Fac tory Acts shall be incorporated with this act, and shall apply to the several manufactures and employments mentioned in the first schedule, with the qualifications and subject to the additions thereinafter mentioned :-1. The term " factory" to have the same meaning as in the Factory Acts. 2.
